Us Magazine reports that rumors of a break-up between Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are not true.

The National Enquirer reported that the couple sat in ‘stone silence’ during what appeared to be ‘an argument’ last month. More from the Us article:

“They are 100 percent together and fine and in love,” a source says. “Nick and Vanessa did go to dinner that night but there was no fight. When they got in the car, Vanessa looked annoyed in pictures because she was fixing her eyelash!”

As much as I think Nick Lachey is knee-deep in ass, epecially when hanging out with Matt Leinart, I find the Enquirer’s report of a break-up based on that dinner to be even more laughable than the usual Enquirer fair. Why? Because they say that the two ‘sat in stone silence during what seemed like an argument’. First of all, what kind of argument is that? Two people are mad at each other, and they show that by not talking? Maybe immediately after the argument a couple is silent…..but who is silent during an argument? That makes no sense at all. Second of all, these two have been together for a while; at this point, I’m sure they have nothing left to say to each other. All couples stop talking during dinner at some point. Its common. Honestly, what are these two gonna say to each other?

Nick: You know, I used to fuck Jessica Simpson?
Vanessa: Yeah, I know. That’s why I’ve heard of you. Its the only reason you’re famous, really. We’ve gone over this about 100 times.
Nick: Well, what the fuck have you done? Besides this spread in Maxim and interviewing fucking Vanessa Carlton, what have you contributed to society?
Vanessa: Fuck you!
Nick: Not tonight….I have a date with a threesome of USC cheerleaders. But I’ll call you from the road.
